Justin and I bought Lottery tickets on principle. We’re going to win. I just know it.

I don’t know a whole lot right now.

What I do know:
• The cancer is in one breast and in one lymph node.
• The doctor gave me a tentative “Stage 2b” diagnosis, pending more test results and a PET scan to see if it has spread anywhere else.
• I’m meeting with an oncologist next week to discuss how to proceed.

Talking with my friend Tina yesterday (she of the burned-down-childhood-home), we found ourselves laughing over the whole mess.

Because what else can you do but laugh?

You can post your silver lining on Facebook. You can leave it in a comment on this blog. You can write it in a journal. You can just take a moment and appreciate the silver lining in your mind and heart.

I wanted to call you but it was late last night. Whatever, wherever, whenever Gary and I are there. Payton is in the hospital since yesterday. Once I get him back home and situated I will call you. Love You!

Meghan, I happened to glance at FB and notice you had a blog, clicked in and read this news! Sending prayers and good karma your way!! If there’s anything we can do, help, call, email, babysit, whatever you need no matter what just ask! Much love – Lori Beth

Sorry one of your breasts is not feeling well. They both looked fine to me the last time I saw you. Like my high school track coach used to say, “There are no hills for a stepper.” Meaning, I have full confidence that this will just be a small bump in the road for you, if that. Take care of yourself and think of me during your next Guinness.

I am so very sorry to hear this news. however, , I have known you since you were an outgoing, fun loving, 8th grader and know you are one of the strongest and most positive people I have ever known! My love, good positive, healing thoughts are going out for you!! It was good to see you in Chico when we were going through our own crisis… But we know you will beat this thing, just like Gary did!
